Treatment:

Patellar luxation can be treated in both a surgical way and a non-surgical way. usually in minor cases, when the displacement is not too out of hand, non-surgical treatment can heal the patient. firstly, the patient is usually administered with NSAIDs (non steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) n order to minimize pain. apart from this small exercises to keep the affected joint mobile and strengthen the quadriceps muscles are also done. hydrotherapy and acupressure techniques are also sometimes beneficial for the patient. however in serious cases, surgical procedures are conducted. there are many surgical ways to deepen the femoral depression, where the patella should fit into rightly.
